Topic: Target Figure with Cup Sets (Read 21069 times)

has anybody that bought the target exclusive grievous cup / figure set compared the figure to the regular release wave 1 fig? i have read that the cape and paint app is considerbly different. also heard that the clone does not have the action feature. is this true?

I wasn't able to nab those two, only the Obi-Wan set, so I can't confirm that. That'd be rather annoying to a lot of the loose completists though, if there were some modifications to these figures. Don't recall them doing that to any of the first five figures that came with the cups, so it'd be surprising (though clever) if they started doing that now.

Doesn't really matter in my collecting though, since I have to have an opened and packaged cup anyway, and therefore the figure too. I just hope they get back to some of those other OT ones that they'd originally planned for last year, like the Han, Boba, etc...

Did anyone here wind up buying those off of Amazon Japan last month? Any word on whether those were ever sent out by them or not?

I can't speak for Grevious but the clone and Obi are the same. The open hand that comes with the cup version of Obi is the same as the alternate hand found in the the bubble of the standard card version. Also, the Clonetrooper does have the quick draw action. I emailed Yakface and the guy, Bill, has neither replied nor corrected his hastry assumption. In his post, he put "It appears that". WTF? Why post if you don't have the facts? These are the facts.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen these at retail since the opening weekend? I went to Target right away on April 2 morning, and they had all three, but I left the Grievous one thinking I could get it later. Last I saw they were still online, but I was wondering if anyone else is still seeing these at retail? I wonder if this was a "one shot deal" type of thing or not?

Oops...check that, I see now that all three are out of stock at Target.com.

Here in MN, I see the Grievous and Obi-Wan sets from time to time, but the Clone Trooper Cup Sets are no where to be found...

Of course, we kinda figured that'd be the hardest of the 3 to nab. $10 for an army builder and cup isn't a bad deal! Much better than $10 for a cup and a Sneak Preivew re-hash...

I've only ever seen the Obi-Wan set, and even at MM, there were only a couple of the Clone & Grievous ones that got snatched up immediately. The search continues... But considering all the prior cup sets got massively clearanced out, I'd suspect it shouldn't be too overly difficult trackin all of these down eventually.

I have seen these at my local Targets again (post MM) - I didn't need them since I got two complete sets on the 2nd. I think these (like the Lava Reflection Vader) will be shipping to Target for a while yet. Anything that is on their planogram until July (which the cups are), indicates that Target anticipates the item to be a regularly replenished product throughout the next couple of months...

Letting my collecting OCD get the better of me on a DAILY basis... and loving EVERY minute of it!

Me too. I'm wondering if I should be getting a little nervous now since it's been a whole month and there's still not a Grievous or Clone cup set to be found anywhere near me. Are you guys having better luck where you live, or is everyone in the same general boat with these items?

I just want to keep my cup set complete, so hopefully there's more on the way in the near future.
